Hey, I began suffering from cluster/ice pick head aches about 2 months ago and the pain is retarded. like a true 10/10, I have had major pain before, full on with tunnel vision and almost passing out, and these spikes of pain in my head are many times worse. it feels like I am being stabbed in the head with a red hot ice pick.
I got a script for Tylenol 2's 2 months ago and need to take 5-6 (cwe) to even blunt the pain a little, to get it to a 9/10.
my question is have any of you ever dealt with severe migraines and what did you say to your doctor to get something that helped, I am going to my doctor on monday next week and want to make sure I leave with something that will help.
I want to ask for just codeine pills, like 60mg pills, the codeine works a little but its really the only opiate I have tried, I don't want to come off as a drug seeker and I know some doctors are leery of the legitimacy of headache pain.
does anyone have any input. I am thinking about getting a referral to a pain specialist if the doctor doesn't seem to take it seriously.
this is really impacting my life, for the last 2 months I have been rendered useless and its getting worse.
